Commander 5K

On Thursday Morning, Sept 5 and Friday Morning, Sept 6, we're hosting two leagues we call, "Commander 5K", LIVE in Las Vegas. Read on...

The Commander 5K is our biggest high stakes individual league offering in the FFWC. One skilled owner has the opportunity to walk away with $30,000, competing against only 11 other individuals. A 1 in 12 chance at $30,000! Last year the feedback was so positive, we have decided to host TWO of these special events. Are you the best? Put yourself to the test and enter the Commander 5K.

  • 13 weeks long with 12 team leagues.
